● Do not use the reverse function to slow
down or stop the watercraft as it could
cause you to lose control, be ejected, or
impact the handlebars.
● Make sure that there are no obstacles or
people behind you before shifting into
reverse.
● Do not touch the reverse gate while the
shift lever is being operated, otherwise
you could be pinched.
When the shift lever is moved to the reverse
or neutral position, the reverse gate lowers
and deflects the water jet being discharged
from the jet thrust nozzle. This allows the wa-
tercraft to move in reverse or not to move un-
der engine power, although some watercraft
movement in neutral may occur.
This model is equipped with a function which
limits the engine speed in reverse or neutral.
To shift into reverse:
(1) Release the throttle lever and let the en-
gine speed return to idle.
(2) Squeeze the shift lock lever and pull the
shift lever rearward until it stops in the re-
verse position. The reverse gate will low-
er and the watercraft will start moving in
reverse at trolling speed.
To shift into neutral from reverse:
(1) Release the throttle lever and let the en-
gine speed return to idle.
(2) Push the shift lever forward until it locks in
the neutral position. Make sure that the
neutral indicator has appeared. The re-
verse gate will rise slightly in order to bal-
ance forward and reverse thrust to help
keep the watercraft from moving, al-
though some movement may occur, es-
